Sennheiser - Momentum - Closed Over-Ear Headphone

The Harmony

Fusion of Sound and Style

Momentum is obsessed with detail. You can hear it. You can see it. Every stitch of its seams is accurately placed, every frequency accurately reproduced. Its genuine materials are in complete harmony with each other. Nothing superfluous, nothing to add. Purism in perfection. It sounds the way it looks: Rich. Clean. Premium.

The Custom Fit

A Sensory Delight

Buttery soft ear cups gently rest near your ears. A slider made of special steel smoothly adjusts Momentum to your preference: a design principle originally developed for shock absorbers, responsible for keeping cars where they belong. In this case it guarantees optimum sustained contact between the sound and the ears, and helps absorb distorting resonances.

The Material

Expertly Selected

Extremely light aluminum voice coils deliver breathtaking impulse response. “Soft-as-a-glove,” luxurious leather covers the ear pads, filled with two layers of special foam, evoking the feeling of climbing into a vintage sports car every time you put on Momentum.

The Cable

Thoughtfully Engineered

Crafted with high end material: used for bulletproof vests and protective suits worn by racing drivers and therefore a brilliant choice for Momentum. Heat and acid resistant. Unbreakable and tearproof. Absolutely secure.

The Style

Zero Tolerance for "Me Too."

Momentum was designed not for those who follow fashion, but for those who define their own style. A triumph of substance over mere effect. Understatement as a statement. Timeless style that reflects your design principles. Our interpretation of purism, perfected.

The Plug

Designed with Purpose

Functionality is beautiful: just look at the jointed 3.5 mm stereo jack plug. Prevent cable break or choose cable direction in one fluid motion. Indispensable when used with mobile devices.

The Remote

The World at Hand

Embedded within the cable lies Momentum’s sleek in-line control unit: providing complete control over your music and calls. Crafted of fine metal to fit naturally within your fingertips. Specially designed to support Apple devices.

Rating: 3/5great sound, NOT over-ear

Pros: Sennheiser has unmatched sound as always. Bass is rich without being overpowering or downright painful like some sealed headphones I've owned. Removable cables & controls are great.

Cons: These are marketed as 'over-ear' but unless your ears are tiny they aren't gonna fit in these phones. These are very much 'on-hear' headphones and if you're like me and wear your headphones for hours on end in an office these will get pretty uncomfortable after a while.

I specifically bought what I thought were over-ear phones for comfort reasons. These are not over-ear headphones and after wearing them for an 8 hour work day the spot on my ears that these phones press into my glasses are killing me. This is a glaring 'con' and I'll likely be returning them as a result.

Other Thoughts: I has such high hopes for these phones and they really do sound great. But I'm so turned off by these being marketed as 'over-ear' when they're definitely on-ear that I'll likely return them. Trying the V-Moda M-100 as a replacement which I know won't sound as good.
